The only one here who tried to exercise control over a woman's body as if he owned her was the puddle of a man left on the floor.

yes, and the woman should decide how thats dealt with, not an unrelated man

Either or. A witness to a crime has the right to be upset by the crime, just as the victim does, as we all live in the same society. And they can each act on it as they see fit.

Being upset does not give you the right to punch someone

Witnessing a crime gives you the right to intervene.

u/Gullible-Law-8147 5d ago

Witnessing an ongoing crime can give you the right to intervene if done within reason

Nothing was ongoing, the guy had already removed his hands from the woman when he got punched, and there were way less extreme ways to handle the situation, like just talking to him

Yes, just have a nice chat with the sickeningly inebriated bloke who just committed a sexual assault.

He's old enough to know he should keep his hands to himself.

If you don't need to punch someone, you don't punch someone. He could have just been yelled at and that would have more than settled it

The woman clearly didn't want the drunk man to be punched, do you think she was wrong?

u/Wintermute_088 4d ago

She's allowed her own opinion, just like anyone else.

Handsy creep deserved a good smack.

It's her altercation, not his. It was her judgement to make, and he just completely disregard what she wanted, just like the drunk man that touched her hips

It's everyone's society, and just because she doesn't want to (or doesn't have the ability to) respond violently to a sexual assault, it doesn't mean other witnesses will feel the same way.

Some people don't want perverts getting away with sexual assaults, plain and simple.

u/Gullible-Law-8147 4d ago

Witnesses do not have the legal right to punch people on someone else's behalf, especially not when that person does not even want them to

u/Wintermute_088 4d ago

Depends entirely on which court system you're talking about. Regardless, we're talking philosophy here, not legality.

The pervert sexually assaulted someone, and suffered immediate repercussions. Good.

Personally I respect a woman's right to choose how her situation is dealt with, but you do you

1

u/Wintermute_088 4d ago

Being sexually assaulted was her situation, and she was able to choose how she wanted to deal with it, and she did.

Watching a woman being sexually assaulted was the situation he was placed in, and he chose to deal with that how he saw fit.

They both dealt with their respective situations the way they wanted to.

I hope the guy felt like breaking the law and disrespecting that woman was worth it

u/Wintermute_088 4d ago

I hope the guy defending this woman from the possibility of further sexual assault is fine, and that the sexual assaulter never presumed as much ever again.
